Make your next event a memorable experience in one of the Gaslamp’s most elegant and highly recommended Italian restaurants. Surrounded in an ambiance of old world charm, de’ Medici features the authentic cuisine of Italy, including a vast selection of Italian seafood specialties. Fabulous food, personalized service and attention to details are just a few examples of the high standards that set them apart.

The service is wonderful! Our food was beyond delicious. At the table next to us, however, the man dining alone did not enjoy what he had ordered. The waiter, who was very nice, promptly removed it and sent the manager. She had him order something different, apologized, and comped his entree. WOW!Our entrees, appetizer, wine and desserts were superb. We would not hesitate to recommend and return.

We live in Sacramento and travel quite a bit. This is my favorite restaurant in the whole world. The service and food are fabulous, and the ambience is beautiful. Very old world style and the waiters treat females like they are very special (a lost art). Try the Caesar Salad made for two at tableside. Highly recommend and we will be back again and again!!

The food was outstanding and the wait staff was very helpful and friendly. The only issue we had was that we were seated in the "other" dining area (not the main one) and it was noticably colder. Other than that, it was a great experience.

This restaurant reminds me of the old world Italian restaurants in San Francisco. The charm is impossible to describe and just say it is worth the drive. And the food is so good. Not fusion, new world just great established Italian food. This is our "go to" restaurant when ever we go to the Gaslamp.

My husband and I had reservations to celebrate our anniversary, but last minute plan changes, we brought our daughter with us. We actually had our wedding dinner and this same restaurant and it was great being back! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Cesar salad that was made from scratch at the table! The atmosphere is always very romantic and perfect for date nights. Our waiter was really cool and was even cool with our 3 year old. We will definitely be back in the future!

This was a classic "good foil spoiled by bad service" experience. Although the restaurant wasn't busy, the staff seemed to ignore me and I was periodically waving to get their attention. Also, I didn't have one waiter, but several, and it was confusing to keep track of who I asked for what, and who didn't do what they said. Finally, I think the staff attitude was more like "I'm here to do a job" than "I'm here to make your dining experience great".

Unfortunately this dining experience was underwhelming. There’s so much to say but let me start with the positive. One member of our party ordered the Stuffed Seafood entree and they raved about it. All the rest of our meal was mediocre. The bread appeared to be heated up packaged rolls and wasn’t very tasty. Bread is the first exposure to a restaurant’s food quality. I judge a bread as good if I could continue to eat it with butter all night and not care about the food. We recently dined at another restaurant in the SD gaslamp area and the bread there was remarkable. Secondly, the pasta was poor quality and the sauce likewise. I ordered lobster and the portion was small. It was served with 2 vegetables which were cold and skimpy. The ambience was lackluster. No music playing, no appeal. The waiter was just OK. There was hardly anyone in the place which should’ve translated to better service. Finally, let me just say that the only thing that keeps a place like this in business is the fact that it’s in a popular heavily-traveled tourist locale. Were it not for that, this place would go under. I wish them luck but we won’t be back.

We dined here during our honeymoon. The overall service was amazing and Juan was friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was superb as well. We would definitely go back if in the San Diego area again.

We were visiting San Diego and wanted to experience fine dining at a reasonable price ... de Medici definitely delivered, if a touch on the pricey side! Attentive service, wonderful food and a quiet atmosphere all contributed to an outstanding experience.

The only thing that was good was the caesar salad. The calamari was chewier than a rubber band - they did take it off the bill. The pasta was substantially overcooked. Too many other great restaurants in San diego, this one needs to step up or go away.

The service was outstanding. My husband has mobility problems, but the management was very accommodating to his needs. The wait staff was friendly and very professional. The food was delicious! We would definitely return!
